in the headlight, grab the wires that come out of the turn signal, and tap into the one that turns hot onlywhen the blinkers are applied... and then into the ground...

what it looks like is you put the main signal wire on 1 side, and the 12v to the mirror signal lights on the other side and it connects them??? is that the function?

The purpose of those little things is they making splicing a snap, literally. You dont have to cut the wire. Just push the plate closed and then snap it shut

I know how to splice, its just like splicing speaker wire right, and ive wired a few lights running on the same line @ my school before.. So i was thinking its jus like that, but the hard part for me is finding that main line for the signals

stick a volt meter into the plug that the bulb slides into and check for a pulsing on the meter, I found that both the running light and blinker both made it pulse (weird right) but the blinker was a stronger pulse
